So, I am just sitting here; chilling on the front porch with the chickens. I love how they run around free here. Sometimes when I'm walking next to the woods it scares me a little because you can hear them rustling in the leaves. One of them just caught a lizard a minute ago and they were all fighting over it.
Well, it has been an interesting day. The past few days have been overcast and rainy, so the water at Long Bight Beach where we teach lessons has been super rough. I've got some pretty good scrapes from being thrown up against the rocks. A girl yesterday afternoon sliced her foot open pretty deeply. Ana and I really had to play lifeguard yesterday with our first aid kit. Today, for lessons, our first group told us that we should go to the Atlantic side to Holiday Beach because the water would be much calmer. They were right. It was about a 25 minute walk to get there though and we made the trek several times. The lessons we had today were pretty successful and the kids seemed to have a really good time. This afternoon, when the water was too rough we had a few of the boys over to draw pictures. They were hilarious. We've learned a lot by talking to the kids. I wish I could type everything here that I've learned, but it would take forever.
Ana and I just finished our delicious dinner of tortillas and refried beans, spinach, onions, and cheese. I'm kinda in love with refried beans at the moment. We almost bought a 7lb can of them this afternoon when we were refilling our waterjug at J & C Discounts across the street, but we figured we would come back another day for them. Right after we ate some really ripe mangos. Mm... Did I mention we found the bakery with pineapple tarts? It's up a really steep hill, so we have to earn them to eat them!
My fear of picking up an accent has started to become true. I seem to pick up accents really easily. Today, one of the boys told me I talked like a Bohemian. I couldn't hear myself saying anything differently, but he was pretty adamant about it.

Where exactly is Long Bight Beach and Holiday Beach?
Don't miss seeing Queen's bath just south of the Glass Window Bridge.
